c) Abnormal sensitivity/If the plaintiff's use of his property or his own physical or mental make-up is abnormally sensitive, he may be denied recovery for nuisance. This follows because the standard employed in determining whether the defendant's activity is an unreasonable interference is an objective one. Thus the defendant need govern his conduct only with reference to the reactions of normal persons in the particular locality and not with reference to the idiosyncracies of any particular plaintiff. 1, record 2, English, - abnormal%20sensitivity
